Classic Omelette with a Twist

The classic omelette is a staple breakfast dish, but why stick to the usual when you can elevate it? Here's how you can turn your simple omelette into a culinary delight:

• Ingredients:
  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • Filling of your choice (cheese, ham, spinach, mushrooms, etc.)

  2. Heat the butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Pour in the eggs, let them set slightly, then lift the edges with a spatula to let the uncooked egg flow underneath.
  4. When the omelette starts to firm up but is still a little runny on top, place your fillings on one half.
  5. Fold the other half over the fillings, cook for another minute, then flip it to cook the other side until golden brown.

✨ Note: For a fluffier omelette, add a splash of milk or cream to the beaten eggs before cooking.

How do I make the perfect poached egg?

+

Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add a dash of vinegar to help the egg whites hold their shape. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then create a gentle whirlpool in the water with a spoon and slowly pour the egg into the center. Cook for 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk.

Can I make a good soufflé without an electric mixer?

+

Yes, you can. While an electric mixer makes things easier, you can use a hand whisk. It will require more elbow grease, but the process remains the same: beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

What can I use if I don’t have Hollandaise sauce?

+

Instead of Hollandaise, you could use béarnaise sauce, or simply top with a sprinkle of cheese or a drizzle of flavored oil like truffle or chili.
